KNOCKED OUT IN FOUR ROUNDS Otto Cribb Proves a Fast Fighter—Kelly B and Flynn in a Fake. gunch and has a powerful short-arm 1 | [ preliminary fights were between Attell and Bozeman, and Kelly and Flynn, | Abe Attell's first professional fight was a | victory. After ten rounds of hard fight- ing Attell was proclaimed the victor over Jockey Bozeman. While the fight was | close enough for the crowd to hang upon the referee’s decision for a clew, the great | majority of the spectators were of the opinion that Referee Jack Welch knew his | busincss when he pointed to Atteil as the | winner. The leading was primarily the work of Attell, who offset the superior strength of Bozeman by an exercize of a| mild sort of cleverness. The second fight was Doc Fiynn and Suider Kelly, “How do you do?” said Kelly. “Glad to see you,"” said Flynn. “Don’t it me,” said the Doc. “Don’t come into my parior,” said the | Spider. In the fourth round Ed Bowen, repre- | senting tke Columbia Club, wanted Ref- | | eree Lynch to call the fight that was not | a fight. The crowd jeered and hooted. Some of the spectators wanted the lights to go out. In the seventh round 3 Flynn was caressed on the jaw and went | | down. He got up before theé call of time, and received a few more affectionate taps | | from the “'Spider.”” Two rounds later | some more affectionate fistic demonstra- tons were administered by Kelly, and Flynn almost succeeded in going out. At the end of this round Referee Welch | stopped the flasco and calied it no con- | test. The referee said: “Flynn never | anything but a faker. ~Kelly is a n' 1 tried to make them fight »u think I am a worker of miracies?” Alec Greggains has issued a challenge in | | behalf of “Dutch” Thurston, his protege, | | who wants to meet Cribb at'145 pounds. o e ROOT AND BYERS MATCEED National Bporfing‘ Club, a New Or- ganization, Arranges for the Fight.
